Have you ever had an experience that made you question reality? Where you legitimately thought you might be losing your mind?
These AskReddit users certainly have, and they shared their stories for all of us to see.
1. Twins
“Not necessarily creepy, but definitely made me question reality…
I used to work in a gas station.
One regular customer was like night and day: One day he’d be soft-spoken and shy, the next he’d be obnoxious. His cigarette preference also changed from day to day. But he always came in the same work truck with the same guys at the same time of day.One day, he walked in and went straight to the bathroom. A minute later, he walked in again and came to the counter.
Twins. It took me eight months to realize they were twins. And not even identical twins, either. They just looked really similar.”
2. He knew
“My cat hated me for the first seven years we had him. He was a feral that was tamed by my wife, and only accepted affection from her. My wife assured me that this was common for ferals.
Then one day he suddenly warmed up to me, and wanted my to pet him. We’ve been best friends ever since.
This was approximately four years ago — about the time that my wife’s brain cancer was becoming aggressive. Even before we were aware of it. She died two years ago.
It’s like he knew it was just going to be the two of us one day.”
3. Dreams?
“When I was a kid between 8 or 9, I used to wake up every night to headlights coming through my bedroom window. The lights would then would stop and turn off, not as if a car drove by but as if they were turned off. Then the long shadows of a man, as if were looking through my window would pass by and stop in front of my window. I would lay really still and pretend nothing happened, every night for months. Eventually I convinced myself it was imagination. Now that I think back it stopped when my stepdad moved in (my mom was single) but I was convinced it wasn’t real.
Across the street lived my best friend-whose mom was also single- and she refused to sleep in her bedroom. Her window faced my window. She told me years later it was because every night a man would park in her side yard and walk over to my yard. The long shadows were from the light in her yard. She eventually decided it was my dad checking on us and never told me until I was a teenager. It wasn’t my dad (I asked him).
So I thought I was crazy and hallucinating for years and perhaps I wasn’t or two kids were having were odd dreams at the same time every night.”
4. Rude ghost
“I worked at a small retail shop that sold mostly small accessories and clothes. I have never really believed in ghosts but my coworkers always swore the place was haunted. Lights would flicker randomly and canvases would fall violently to the ground despite my efforts of propping them up so that they didn’t.
The thing that really made me question everything happened when I was closing alone at night. We had a sunglass display in the middle of the store. Just a flat glass shelf with a bunch of sunglasses laid out nicely on top. I walk past it to the register and hear this huge crash. Look back and all of the sunglasses were on the floor. It looked like somebody just took their arm and dragged it across the shelf pushing them all off. There wasn’t anything above the display so nothing could have knocked it off. I don’t have an explanation for it.
It was right as I was about to close too. He was a rude ghost.”
5. I don’t believe it…
“I was playing with our dog in the living room. At the time I was around 9 years old. We we’re doing our usual “only play like this when mom isn’t home else she’ll tell us to stop” type of playing.. so basicly playing fetch in the living room. At 1 point I threw the toy which caused it to ricochet out of the living room into the kitchen.
Frans (our dogs name) chased it and disappeared around the corner to get it. At that exact moment the front door opened and mom walked in with Frans on a leash after a 2 hour walk over the beach and dunes….. I tried to explain, but can’t. I played with him for at least 15 minutes in … apparently.. my imagination, but I just don’t believe that.”
6. The barn
“I used to visit my grandparents house with my Father every Sunday. A very odd family lived a few houses down. They had a massive property in the middle of old Pasadena. The house had three stories, a basement, and huge back yard. I was introduced to the little girl that lived that at some birthday party. We would to sit on the side of the house and look for four leaf clovers.
She told me she liked to play in the backyard barn but nobody was allowed to go back there anymore. She promised there were a ton…
